I'm surprised so many people are looking for the LG 6K over the ASUS at $700 cheaper. Is it because of looks?
Got a tip for us?

What a joke. This one should have dropped to $999, and the better one they release should have come in at this price.
That’s brutally expensive for those specs. Does it come with a foot massage?
The same ~20 year old iMac retina panel. The same $1599 price. They are truly out of their minds.
It comes with a face massage from an open-hand palm.
The most underwhelming update yet. I don't know what bubble Apple is living in, but it's not looking good. The real update to the Studio Display is the Studio Display XDR, and even then, it's not great.
These days you definitely have to look elsewhere if you're serious about monitors.

Because the LG is 6K 6144×3456 ASUS ProArt PA32QCV uses a 6016×3384 panel. LG TB5 vs. TB4

I bought the old Studio Display at Christmas along with a 512GB Mac mini, this system replaced my 2019 27" iMac. After seeing the specs on the new Studio Display, I am not disappointed with what I have and have no regrets.
Abysmal XDR update. At CES, LG and Samsung introduced 32” 6K displays, thought Apple would have used one of those panels in its update.
Another shame for Apple. Tim Cook should be replaced by someone more competent, more visionary, more daring.

Likely because it's 48-120 Hz, and not 1-120 Hz.

I might have gone for it if it was $999. As it is, I’ll just keep using the 2010 LED Cinema Display I’ve got between my 2008 Mac Pro and my new 2026 M5 16” MBP!

I agree that the deluge of 27" 5K120 MiniLED monitors is coming this year that will surely undercut the Studio Display (likely by a lot) and will feature more inputs. However, Apple is banking on the facts that this will play nicely with your Macs (e.g. keyboard function keys work seamlessly), gives you good speakers/microphone and an "Apple quality" webcam (not to mention the Apple logo on it) will pursuade a whole heap of people to either drop $3k on the XDR model or drop $1600 on this and pretend that they didn't even want 120 Hz or MiniLED...
Wow. I’ve been disappointed by some Apple hardware updates in the past, but this is next level. It’s like a middle finger to all of us who were waiting for a decent Studio Display update. And the XDR is even less geared toward pros now because of the size, but too expensive for average users to justify.
That XDR price is a joke as well!
What an amazing week of "new releases" (sic)
More bass! That's Tim's idea of innovation! Apple is doomed if he stays in control.

Have they lost their minds or am I not reading into the finer details of this and the xdr "update"?
I understand the need to maintain margins and stuff but don't Apple also want to make industry-leading products that they are actually proud of?

When macOS is outputting HDR image to any third-party display, the brightness control keys work just like with a display from Apple
(HDR stimuli gets adjusted instead of display's native brightness, but in reality it's the same thing)
